[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
I took forty-five steps today:
E
Couch to bathroom to kitchen to couch
C#m
Thanksgiving ’15 in a
B A
loft across from a cemetery
E
Drinking beer & NyQuil in this old mill
C#m
It’s burnt out from a fire back in ’93
B A
Gentrified and standing tall
[Chorus]
A B
And I feel like I’m stuck on an island
E
And I’ve been more than selfish
C#m
Wishing I could be landlocked again
G#m
Trying to do something great
A
Instead I’ll question my age
B
And wonder why I’m such a mess
E
Such a mess
[Verse]
E
And now I want to be more than me
E
More for my friends and the
C#m B A
four people left in my family
E
I’m so sick of everything always bringing me down
E
I’ll try not to break my neck
E
Get my feet on the ground
C#m
So I don’t have to be a burden –
B A
Some sad kid up in bed
[Chorus]
A B
And I feel like I’m stuck on an island
E
And I’ve been more than selfish
C#m
Wishing I could be landlocked again
G#m
Trying to do something great
A
Instead I’ll question my age
B
And wonder why I’m such a mess
[Bridge]
E B A
But I’ve resigned my happiness
C#m
to “lack thereof.”
B A
Guess nothing’s perfect in the end
E
I’ll be alright
B A C#m
And I’ll upend every good thing that I find
B A
But I’ll keep pissing in the wind
[Interlude]
E B A C#m B A
[Outro]
E
I want to be the one
E
I want to know what I love
A B E
I want to hold it together
E
I want to be the one
C#m
I want to know what I love
A B E
I want to hold it together
E
I want to be the one
C#m
I want to know what I love
A B E
I want to hold it together
